Chapter 128 Integrity
"mighty……"

All the policemen stood lined up on both sides, and they beat the ground rhythmically with the military sticks in their hands. The rumbling sound made the ground vibrate, causing a strong sense of oppression, which made people feel alive fear.

A man in his 50s or [-]s came out from the back of the hall, wearing a royal blue robe and a blue glass top, with nine pythons and five claws embroidered on his chest.His pace was not slow or fast, and there was even a sense of impatience in his movements.

Xu Ruqing looked at the magistrate Mo who was yawning and tired, and noticed the marks of lipstick that had not been wiped off his face and the obvious bruises under his eyes.She didn't need to guess that she already knew that Mr. Mo had probably just escaped from the tenderness of the beauty.

Under the gaze of everyone, Maude finally walked slowly to the trial stand and sat down.He straightened his face, the pair of disorganized eyebrows on his face curled up, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, staring at the kneeling people in the hall.

"Crack!" The gavel slapped hard on the trial table, and the crowd on the outside immediately fell silent.

"Who is in the hall?"

"Father Wu, I pay my respects to the county magistrate." Wu Hongmei bowed her head and lowered her eyebrows, and knelt down and said.

"It's you beating the drums to express your grievances? Tell me, what grievances do you have?"

Wu Hongmei straightened up and raised her head: "Returning to my lord, Wu Xiulian, the daughter of the peasant woman, was found tragically dead by the river at noon today. The peasant woman believed that the death of the daughter was not an accident, but someone deliberately murdered her, so I came here to ask the county magistrate to help her." The women of the people will be wronged."

Mod frowned, he didn't look at Wu Hongmei again, but directly ordered: "Come on, carry the body up."

Not long after, several yamen servants carried Wu Xiulian's body to the court together on a stretcher. The body was covered with a white cloth, and Mode raised his hand to signal to lift the white cloth.

When the yamen servant lifted the white cloth, only a head was exposed. Perhaps the appearance of the corpse was too frightening. After only one glance, Mo Deshi immediately looked away.

Moder turned his head to the man beside him and asked, "Master, what do you think about this matter?"

Master Han stroked the funny beards in his middle, squinted a pair of triangular eyes, pretended to think about it deeply, and then replied: "Returning to the adults, according to the villain's observation, this woman's corpse is swollen, The corpse spots appear in the lower part, showing light red, which are all in line with the characteristics of drowning. The villain thinks that this is just a simple accidental death."

When Mo De heard the news, his serious face finally relaxed a little: "Mr. Wu, you heard that Wu Xiulian's death was an accident. There is no such thing as deliberate murder."

"But magistrate, when my daughter was found..."

Mo De frowned again, as if to prevent Wu Hongmei from being entangled, he interrupted her impatiently: "Okay, Mrs. Wu, you don't need to say any more, you are a village woman from the countryside, and you are the one who investigates cases. Is it possible to be more professional than the master of the county magistrate?"

"Folk woman..." Wu Hongmei choked when asked, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing that Wu Hongmei couldn't say a word for a long time, Mo De thought that she had acquiesced in being dumb.

He proudly announced: "This county magistrate announced that Wu Xiulian's death was accidental. The case has been concluded and she is out!"

"Crack!" The gavel sounded again, symbolizing the end of the murder case.

"mighty……"

Maude stood up from the seat with his head held high, and turned away in relief.

Just now he was living happily in bed, suddenly his good business was interrupted by this group of lowly and meddling poor people in the countryside, so he was already angry, and now he just wanted to get things done early so that he could go to warm the tent with him in the beauty.

Thinking of the little slut's ecstasy on the bed, Maud's inner desire seemed to burn even more intensely, and even his steps became much lighter.

The villagers who were outside to join in the fun froze in place, unable to react for a while.

This closes the case?
Not only everyone was shocked, but also Xu Ruqing who was listening quietly.

She remembered that when she proposed to report to the official, the villagers all showed a lack of interest, which made her more or less able to guess that everyone was not optimistic about the county magistrate who had just taken office.What she didn't expect was that this Maude not only acted unreliably, but also made a random decision, which was an insult to the black yarn on his head, and he was even more ashamed of the name of his parents and officials!
"Master Mo handles the case so sloppily, isn't he afraid that the soul of the person who died in vain will come to you in the middle of the night to tell you his grievances?!"

A cool and powerful female voice broke the commotion in the courtroom, and because of her words, the people outside immediately became silent.

Moder paused when he heard this, then turned around and glared at Xu Ruqing.

Master Han pointed at Xu Ruqing first and said, "Bold! Where do ignorant women and children come from, how dare they be so disrespectful to our county magistrate!"

"What the people should respect are those good officials who have the ability to judge right from wrong. The absurdity of Mr. Mo's actions is astounding. How can He De deserve the respect of the people!"

Xu Ruqing's words undoubtedly stepped on the lion's tail, and instantly drove the people in the hall crazy.

"You... are so bold! Come on, this person disturbed the court, and even insulted the county magistrate, take her down and punish her with a stick!" Master Han became furious, and ordered a few yamen servants in the hall.

Seeing this, Zhiqu, who had been quietly following Xu Ruqing, subconsciously stood in front of Xu Ruqing, for fear that Xu Ruqing would be in danger. "I'll see who dares!"

"The county magistrate is the biggest in the court, and he can't control you two little girls? Why, you don't want to do it anymore, do you? Hurry up and detain these two!"

Several yamen servants woke up suddenly under Master Han's reprimand. They didn't want to lose their jobs, so they raised their sticks and walked towards Xu Ruqing.

"Hold on."

Just when Xu Ruqing was about to unleash his fists, Moder's voice interrupted the chaotic scene in time.He let out a breath and waved his hand to signal a few people to stop.

Compared with Master Han's dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, Moder has to be much calmer.Xu Ruqing's words just woke him up. He knew very well that if he didn't give an explanation to the common people, the good image of honesty and integrity that he had painstakingly built up might collapse.He had just assumed the post of the county magistrate of Luoyun City not long ago, so he couldn't leave anything to those colleagues.

Moder sat back at the trial table and asked Xu Ruqing, "Who are you?"

"Just a righteous passer-by." Xu Ruqing replied indifferently.

"Oh, what a just passer-by! You accuse me of unfair handling of the case, do you have evidence?"

"Every citizen who witnessed the case handled by the county magistrate just now is evidence."

Maude frowned even more when he heard this, the woman in front of him didn't look easy to deal with.
